If the war tariff is not to stand
forever, why not reduce it now? To
hoard the accommodating surplus is
to preeipitate financial panic; to
spend it is to inaugul4,te another
period of extravagance and demor-
alize the public service. A 20 per
cent. reduction will still leave the
average duty at 36 per cent, or what
it was under the Morril Tariff of
1862; it can be reduced 30 per cent.
and leave the average duty trifle
more than it was in 1863 when the
war was at its height and our sin
ti,nt industries were quarter of "a
century younger than they are now.
The present war tariff of AZ per
cent. is as unnecessary for protec-
ton as it is for revenue. To reduce
it is simply to remove superfuons
taxes on the necessities of the peo-
pie. Everybody seems willing to
support tariff for revenue and
tariff for protection, but the Demo
cratic party is squarely opposed to
tariff for surplus.

The subject of heredity in imparting dis
ease through the parents to the young is
one now attracting the attention not only of
physicians in respectto the human family,
but of advanced veterinarians in the breed
ing of animals. One real difficulty to be
met where-and it is a growing one
arises from the consumption of milk from
diseased animals, especially COWS afflicted
with tuberculosis. through too close breed
ing, and especially intensified near large
cities from close confinement of cows and
improper feeding, especially where dis
tillery slop and fermenting brewers grains
are used. In animals producing but one
young at time it is not 80 easy to trace
hereditary disabilities, bat in those produc-
ing many-as the hog and dog-it is much
easier. Swine closely bred are inclined to
scrofula, and dogs closely bred to mango
and other cutareous diseases. Measles IN
in swine and other parasitic diseases, as
trichina, are the result of the parasitic
germs taken up in the food. This class of
diseases, and tuberculosis and other hered-
itary diseases, may be avoided by thor
oughly cooking the food. But in the case
of the milk of animals, used as food, it is
not generally cooked; and here hes the
real danger to the human family, and es-
pecially to infants.
Farm animals should be especially
looked TO, to know that they are healthy,
Especially in the breeding of grades, ami
mails having faint of hereditary disease
in their ancestry should be avoided. In
this respect the farmer IN choosing sires
should select vigorous animals-those with
broad chest, round barrels, and TANKS well
let down. Never use male with a narrow
girth and tucked-up tanks, however cheap
he NAV be offered.

and his table, for many year. One
dav he called upon James to come with
him for tramp to st. Andrews. And
Jamie dutifullv followed his master to
college and home again, having been u
witness to the small negotiations of the
two days absence. On the morning
following his return the dominic called
James to him and said Listen, mon.
If anybody comes here in my absence
and asks for the minister you will say,
The doctor las gone to the kirk, or,
The doctor has gone to the post, or

must have seen many times, as Madam
told me she had worn it herself for
years.
"Yes," admits Hazard, flashing the
emerald in the sun, and admiring its
changing color. 1--WE often seen it
before.
Loo waits for him to return the ring.
The Captain evidently means to take
his time about it, for he turns it about
slowly, finally slipping it upon the lit
tie finger of his own hand. If You
don't mind, I'll wear it awhile myself, !"
says he coolly.
Wear it yourselfr Loo gasps in
utter astonishment, gazing blankly at
the Captain.
Yes And you shall wear mine in re-
turn, pulling off diamond that has
long been the secret admiration of his
astonished companion. Even exchange
is no robbery"
This he says gayiy, as the diamond
slides upon her white finger, and there
is so curious a look in his eyes that
Loo bushes, catches her breath, and
again feels that strange flutter about
her heart.
She has no time, however, to either
expostu ate with the Captain upon his
cool method of settling matters to his
own satisfaction, or to scold herself for
her part in the transaction, for the maid
at this moment approaches them with
message from Madam.
She walks in silence by the Captains
side, as they at once set out for the
house. If it were not for Miss Lafarge,
Loo would almost believe
Never mind. She drops her eyes to
the ground. She will believe as little
as possible, and imagine nothing at all.
Madam is sitting in the big drawing
room, and here they find her.
What DO you think, Captain" cries
Madam Dundas, casting a sharp glance
upon the pair as they approach her
chair. Il have made mp my mind to
give 90 party, and to thus Introduce
her into society.
"By all MEANS" assents Hazard,
the very thing. Young ladies adore
parties Miss Loo will be no excep-
ton to the rule"
let us make out a list of those We
will invite"
Loo fetches her writing-desk, and
the Captain begins to call off the names
Of those whom he considers eligible.
Il ct us begin with Jack Littieteld, 3"
says Hazard, gravely. Il feel certain
that he at least of all the guests, will
be very welcome"
Madam jots down list of names
herself. Loo wants to hear that of her
rival added to the number. 1t comes,
but last of all.
Il suppose we must not omit the La

THE STOCK-RANCH.
Cross Fred Beet.


A very interesting series of experiments
have been made recently in England with a
view to determining tie relative yield of
beef by different breeds of cattle and at
what age maximum is afforded. The re-
suit shows that eleven cross breeds gave an
average life of Cos days; eight short horns
gave an average of 1853 for an average
life of 6GS days; eight Sussex, 1,46o in 6oo
days; seven Polled Angus, ,4OS pounds III
Goa days; five Herefords, 1,36S pounds in
so days, and seven Devons, 1,l5S pounds
i'll 627 days.
Each Polled Angus gave for every day of
its life ..49 pounds, each Short horn 2.4o
pounds, each Hereford and each cross
breed 2. rs pounds, each Sussex Z. IA pounds,
and each Devon.1.S5 pounds.
Taking original cost of each breed and
the cost of feeding (which was too varied
TO be reduced to rule) the cross breed
makes very favorable showing, and af-
fords a very strong argument in favor OF
the use of the pure sires TO common ac-
climated cattle.
